kmail, kgpg, mandriva 2006: decryption failed

Hi,
I can't figure out what's going on with kmail and kgpg.
I'm using mandriva 2006, kmail and kgpg.

I'm able to crypt documents and to decrypt them.
I'm able to sign and crypt emails.

But : when I crypt an email and sent it, the recipient of the message is not able to read it. The message is "Decryption Failed", "the external encryption tool openpgp can not decrypt data" .
Of course, I've sent my public key to that person.

When I sign only an email and sent it, the recipient has a beautiful green message explaining that the message was signed and the key is "sure". I'm happy with this.

What do I have to check ? Can you help me ?

Regards,
Alexandre

Hi,
I've found the solution.
I forgot to start automatically the gpg-agent.
So I've added in ~/.kde/env/ a file named gpg-agent.sh
in which I've added : eval "$(gpg-agent --daemon)"

Now it works fine.

Regards,
Alexandre
